Web-based Network Management

• Classic Web-Based Network Management (WBNM) is
  the ability to monitor and actively manage a
  network through the Browser User Interface(BUI),
  display technologies for network management.
• But recently great advance in Web technologies
  make it possible to construct new management
  framework including Information Modeling,
  Management Protocol

CORBA-based Network Management

• CORBA-based Network Management is a design and
  implementation approach for an open,
  standards-based, extensible, and distributed
  network management using CORBA.
• Its main application area was Telecommunication
  network based on TMN, but recently new approaches
  begin to report such as an pure CORBA approach,
  SNMP implementation alternative and integration
  with Web technology

Home Network Management

• Home Networking is the collection of technologies
  and services that make it possible to connect
  multiple computing and information devices at
  home. Home networking ushers in a new era of
  entertainment and convenience for consumers. The
  most successful and useful home networks will be
  simple, reliable, secure, and inexpensive Mega
  Trend
• Characteristics
• No administrator Plug and Play, Self
  configuration, Auto recovery
• Easy of use system to service management

Mobile Agent and its application in Network
Management

• Mobile agent is an autonomous software entities
  that behave in accordance with self-contained
  intelligence (knowledge and inference) while
  moving network
• intelligent agents and particularly mobile agents
  have a great potential to influence the design of
  future network management, since they represent
  an alternative to the traditional client/server
  interaction model

Policy-based Network Management

• PBNM provides the ability to define and
  distribute policies to manage heterogeneous
  networks. These policies control critical network
  resources such as bandwidth, security and Web
  access.
